Business Insider Is Moving To Its New World Headquarters!

Everyone has packed all their stuff up and gone home, and the movers are about to arrive. Later this afternoon, they're going to lug our stuff a few blocks away--to our new world headquarters.

As you know, moving's not an emotion-free experience. For one thing, it usually means the end of one era, and the start of a new one. To pack your boxes, moreover, you have to dig into the past. And then you have to throw some of that past away forever (unless you're like me, in which case you'll just want to keep lugging it around your whole life--although I was quite stern with myself this time.)

In any event, as we close in on our fourth year in business, we're moving again. And we're moving for a happy reason: We've outgrown our old space, and we need a bigger one.

Of course, having followed the technology industry for so long, we're also deeply aware of the "New World Headquarters" curse, in which companies announce their move to a gleaming new campus on the very day in which they begin to go bust. (Think Excite@Home, Yahoo, etc.). We didn't want to taunt the gods, so we didn't adorn the new office with a 24-hour gourmet buffet and a water slide. And all 45 of us are going to strive hard to earn our new space.
